		But the participation of the Spanish government in the Forum implies that all organizing bodies must be in consensus, so any declaration against the war in Iraq was prohibited.
		Like the 1992 Olympics, this Forum is also a pretext for a massive "urban renewal" project of proportions never-before seen: nothing less than the "requalification" of the entire north coast of Barcelona, a zone too potentially valuable to continue housing the "same old" neighbors of the Poble Nou district.
